Catholic League President Bill Donohue was quick to declare Delta's decision his first victory, but Parker was clear that their issues were different. The Catholic League said the image—which incorporated a manger—was offensive to Christians, not just generally inappropriate for television (or for Delta's ad strategy.) Of course, Delta tried to say at the beginning of all this that their decision wasn't pegged to the campaign (leaving out that their objections was still prompted by the same image.) Many people didn't quite believe them. In the days since Catholic League President Bill Donohue congratulated them and suggested we all fly Delta, those who are slightly less sympathetic to Donohue's other causes suggested quite the opposite, with Tweets like this one: "You just lost a customer (long time frequent flyer). You cave to right wing pressure...Bye."

You might still not believe that Delta didn't flee from the little controversy the Catholic League started. But, hey, while Donohue's demanding an apology from Stewart, Delta's not demanding anything from him. "This does not preclude us from going back to The Daily Show as an advertiser in the future," Parker said. Better cancel those frequent flyer memberships, Donohue.
